Chapter 381 Census Results
In addition to the establishment of fences, the entire camp is also becoming more formal.
Single-family stone houses that can be lived in for a long time have been built, and together with tall sentry posts, they stand outside the fence.
The number of people in the camp has increased to nearly 300.
This is because more and more ice-born mages in the tribe have begun to bind their own sacred objects and practice the "Aoki Immortality Sutra" at the same time.
And the holy objects they formed a contract with, without exception, were all planted in the field opened up by Yogathira.
This means that this forest is becoming more and more important to the Zhenbing tribe.
In the foreseeable future, the number of Holy Tree Guards will only continue to increase.
This occupies the Zhenbing Tribe’s precious ice-born mage resources.
Let the mage be the forest ranger. This is actually a huge waste of "resources", which means killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.
But we have to do it.
After all, sacred objects are too crucial for the magicians who practice the "Aoki Sutra" and cannot be kept.
But now, the solution is in front of us.
As long as the enlightenment ability of Yuga Tshila can be fully utilized, the forest protection task can be completely taken over by the tree people.
"Lord Flora will give instructions to plant the trees first. As for these magic tree seeds, I will take them back first and let the magicians of the clan form a contract." While thinking about it, Gothe discussed with Flora softly.
“Leave it to Lady Flora.” Flora said, puffing out her chest.
·Planting trees has always been her favorite thing to do, and it doesn’t require any effort from Gaode to “coax” her.
Gothe took out the ordinary tree species and gave them all to Flora. As for the magic tree species, he took them back to Phoenix.
In addition to the tree seeds, Gothe brought back to the north this time twenty bottles of the [Quick Digging] magic potion that had been prepared.
Using these twenty bottles of magic potions, the Northern Territory can obtain twenty mages who master [Quick Digging] in less than half a year.
It will play a huge role in the upcoming expansion plan in Phoenix and even the tunnel construction plan in Mount Vallar.
Gothe did not stay longer in Valar Bay, and immediately rode on the snow wolf and rushed to Phoenix.
Compared with three months ago, the simple road between Valar Bay and Phoenix has expanded a bit.
This is because the connection between the two places is becoming more and more frequent, and expansion is carried out according to demand.
However, in terms of the time it takes to travel between the two places in Gaode, there has not actually been much change.
If we want to really shorten the travel time between the two places, the most important thing is to dig through the Valar Mountain and avoid the journey up and down the mountain.
A day and a half later, Gothe was already sitting in his office in the Phoenix City Hall, looking at the report that had been prepared for his approval.
The report is about the census.
Before leaving the northern border for the last time, Gaode instructed Sunaifa to organize the "First Census of the Zhenbing Tribe".
Although limited by the conditions in the north, the efficiency of the census is low.
But the total population of the Zhenbing Tribe is only over 500,000, so the workload is not huge.
In addition, under the Zhenbing Tribe’s war-mother system, tribe members’ cooperation with the census is surprisingly high, and there will be no such thing as being “unruly”.
So actually, the first census was completed successfully two years ago.
According to Gaode's requirements, during the census, a comprehensive survey and registration of the existing population of the Zhenbing tribe will be carried out universally, household by household, including the number of households, the number of people in each household, gender, specific age, etc.
The two report documents on the table are the final census results.
One is a census report of the indigenous people of the Zhenbing tribe, and the other is a summary of the population of other small and medium-sized tribes in the north that have newly joined Phoenix in the past six months.
Gaode opened the census report of the Zhenbing Tribe with great interest and read it carefully:
【Number of households】: 125,003 households
【Total population】: 523,456 people
【Sex ratio】: male population 268,732; female population 254,724 people
There are slightly more men than women. In the Zhenbing tribe, which is a survival style similar to that of a primitive tribe, men with stronger physical strength and strength have an innate advantage.
So even under the Zhanmu system, the male population of the Zhenbing tribe was slightly more than the female population.
This just shows that demand determines everything.
【Age Distribution】：
0-12 years old: 99,456 people; 41-60 years old: 78,518 people;
61 years and above: 15,703 people (including 10,245 ice-born mages);
The age distribution is also in line with Gaode’s expectations.
Under such harsh conditions in the north, most people will never live to the expected life span of 75 years.
Hence, the proportion of the elderly in the population is extremely low, less than 3%.
This data is only available when there are 20,000 ice-born mages in the Zhenbing Tribe.
The life span of a mage apprentice is the same as that of an ordinary person, which is 75 years.
The lifespan of a first-level mage will skyrocket to 150 years, the lifespan of a second-level mage is 225 years, the lifespan of a third-level mage is 375 years, and the lifespan of a fourth-level mage is as high as 600 years.
Excluding the Ice Mage, there are actually only 5,458 ordinary people in the entire Zhenbing Tribe who can live to be over sixty years old.
Of course, for the rapidly developing northern border, this age distribution is actually a good thing.
This means that the labor force is sufficient and the population potential is high.
However, Gaode still focused on drawing a circle on the age distribution.
“We want more than 95% of the tribe to live over sixty years old.” Gothe raised his head and said softly to Sunaifa, who was standing aside silently.
Development is not for one person, but for everyone to live a good life.
"With Northwest Barley No. 1, the tribesmen no longer need to brave the wind and snow to hunt for food, let alone starve. This is foreseeable." Sunaifa said.
Why do people from the North often not live past the age of sixty?
One is because hunting is extremely dangerous, and injuries and even death are common in the process.
The second is the shortage of food, coupled with the famine that occurs every three or four years. When necessary, food can only be distributed first to the labor force of the tribe, followed by children, and finally the elderly.
It can be said that there are many old people who starve to death.
The emergence of Northwest Barley No. 1 made these two things disappear into history at the same time.
Given the strong physique of the people in the north, as long as they have enough food, it is not difficult to live to be seventy years old, let alone sixty years old.
"The other is that with such a high proportion of children in the clan, education is the top priority, and the expansion and development of the Ministry of Education should be given the highest priority." Gaude pointed his finger at the line for the number of people aged 0-12 and emphasized.
"My king, the construction of the school is not a big problem. The biggest problem is the teachers." Sunaifa's dark blue eyes were filled with helplessness.
This is the shortcoming of the northern border.
There are nearly 100,000 school-age children in the Zhenbing tribe alone.
But the number of teachers is less than fifty.
The shortage of teachers is so big that Gaode feels a headache just looking at it.
Even if all the monks in Haiyinrong Orphanage were transported to the north, it would be a drop in the bucket.
How to fill this gap?
Gaode rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
Finally, he shook his head, put aside this thorny issue for the time being, and then looked down.
The last content of the report is the special statistics on the number of ice mages in the clan.
People
First Ring Ice Mage: 11,345 people
Mage Apprentices: 4,765
Compared to a population of more than 500,000, the number of wizards in the Zhenbing Tribe is undoubtedly a very good figure.
At least looking at the entire world, no country has a ratio of mages to population that can reach this figure.
But Gaode is still not satisfied with this.
In a world with extraordinary power, extraordinary power should be developed into productive forces rather than just used as force.
He also drew a circle on this module, and then marked four words on the side: "Mage for All".
Yes, this is Gaode’s most important plan for the future of the North.
He is planning to include mage education as the most basic universal education, so that all children in the north in the future, regardless of whether they have ice blood or not, can receive free mage education.
Gothe does not expect these children to become powerful mages. He only needs them to become mage apprentices and master one or two special tricks.
The problem is the same:
Insufficient teacher resources.
Putting down the census report of the Zhenbing Tribe, Gaode opened another summary of migrant population data.
After the Zhenbing Tribe announced that it was willing to allow other small and medium-sized tribes to join, Phoenix ushered in a wave of explosive population growth.
· Among the human tribes in the north, except for the three large tribes Zhenbing, Winter's Hammer, and Frostwolf Clan, which have a population of more than 500,000, the other small and medium-sized tribes basically have less than 100,000 people.
Even some small tribes may have a total population of only one or two thousand people.
The number of individuals in a single tribe is not large, but in the vast snowfield, there are many such small and medium-sized tribes.
Although there are no accurate statistics, there must be thousands of tribes.
And the age distribution of the population of each tribe is mostly the same as that of the Zhenbing tribe, with very few elderly people and mostly young adults and children.
This means that the population potential of the North is actually very large.
This wave of large population that has not yet been fully utilized and exploited, as long as it can be absorbed as much as possible, will be enough for the development of the Zhenbing Tribe for a long time.
During this period of time, the number of tribes who came to Fenix from all over the snowfield to surrender reached twenty-nine, with a total population of about 250,000.
This is already one-half of the total original population of the Zhenbing tribe.
Of course, for today's Zhenbing Tribe, this is a number of people that can be fully accommodated.
Jinhui Farm continues to expand, and the cultivated field area has already reached 600,000 acres.
In the north, there is never a shortage of land, but only crops that can grow on the snowfields.
That means that the population in Phoenix is now actually one million.
Gaode put down the report in his hand and took a long breath.
"My king, as you said, during the census process, we have gained some extra gains." Here, seeing Gothe reading the two reports, Sunaifa said softly.
"Tell me about it." Gothe said with a smile.
"One is the process of census, but it is actually also a thorough investigation of the clan members."
"During this process, we found that many tribesmen actually have unique insights and experiences in various skills such as hunting and planting."
"So, I asked people to sort out these experiences and insights, and at the same time let these tribesmen serve as mentors to promote among the tribes and promote the improvement of the overall technological level of the tribe."
"The other is the process of the census. Cheng can make the tribesmen realize that they are part of the tribe as a whole and feel that the tribe values them, thereby enhancing their sense of belonging and identification with the tribe."
"In fact, as we began to absorb other tribes, the tribesmen complained about it. They felt that they had contributed so much to the tribe. Now the tribe is finally getting better, but outsiders can get the same treatment as them."
"This census made them realize that they are still different from the foreigners who joined later, and it played a certain role in calming people's hearts."
"Finally," Sunaifa paused and said slowly: "Through the census, we discovered many "rats" lurking in Phoenix. We usually do not have a systematic management, and they can lurk in Phoenix without much cover-up." "
h "As soon as the census started, the identities they had fabricated before were full of errors, and we found them out directly."
h "How did you deal with these rats?" Gothe asked with interest.
"It's the same as before, find their tribes and ask them to bring supplies to redeem people." Sunaifa's blue eyes were as calm as water.
As for whether these tribes will obediently follow Sunaifa's example of one-on-two, and easily defeat the two war mothers of the other two tribes.
Although Sunaifa is young, he is definitely the number one person in the North, and his intimidation has already reached its peak.
"Population absorption continues, but Phoenix's expansion plan will be put on the agenda." Gaode said slowly.
With the population data here, Phoenix's load limit will soon be exceeded.
If the expansion is not started, everyone’s life will be affected.
This is the so-called loss of satisfaction.
“The average daily grain production data reported by the Ministry of Agriculture is close to 500,000 kilograms, which is enough to support us to allocate a large number of manpower to start the expansion of Phoenix, mainly the expansion direction and ideas. We are waiting for you to make your decision.” Sunaifa said.
"First select twenty second-level mages in the clan and distribute the [Quick Digging] spell potions and spell formulas." Gothe thought for a while and said this.
Learning first-level spells with a second-level mage level is extremely efficient and can usually be completed within ten days.
"As for the expansion direction of Phoenix," Gaud paused, and then said: "Give me a few days, I will draw a sketch for you."
"As for the specific expansion ideas, he actually already has a preliminary direction in his mind.
It’s just that he studied mathematics after all, not civil engineering, so drawing pictures is not an easy task for him and takes time.
"Let's do this for now," Gothe stood up and said with a smile: "Now, let me see if the two 'princesses' are used to staying here."
